This homemade honey whole wheat bread is soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. Made with freshly ground whole wheat flour and natural honey, it’s a wholesome choice for your family’s table.

Ingredients

  • 15 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute 2–3 cups with white flour)

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast

  • 2 tablespoons salt

  • ⅔ cup honey

  • ⅔ cup coconut oil

  • 6¼ cups tepid water

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the tepid water, honey, coconut oil, salt, and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast.​

  2. Add Initial Flour: Gradually add about 10 cups of whole wheat flour to the mixture, mixing until a wet dough forms.​

  3. Incorporate Remaining Flour: Continue adding the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky.​​​

  4. Shape Loaves: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into greased loaf pans.​

  5. Let It Rise: Cover the loaf pans with a damp cloth and let the dough rise until it reaches the top of the pans, about 30–45 minutes.​

  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.​

  7. Cool: Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on wire racks before slicing.
